Our Earth Hour
My wife and I put the kids to bed at their normal bedtime, just this time we did it by candlelight. We weren’t as prepared for Earth Hour as we should have been. We ran around frantically looking for some candles. Finally we found enough to keep us seeing. Once the kids were in bed, we spent the hour talking and playing cards. I think that we need to have an “Earth Hour” more often. I’m a great example of letting the TV be our conversation piece. It’s not as bad when we’re watching quality programs from Sundance’s The Green or Discovery Health or the Science Channel…but I like horribly bad TV. If we’re watching good programs, we have in-depth conversations (and sometimes bitch sessions) about our passion for…[insert earth, health, food, future, climate, children, technology, etc. here]. Other times, I watch bad TV with no redeeming value, yet shutting out healthy conversation. I fully admit to my failures in this department. Perhaps a self-imposed Earth Hour more often would help…or just watch less horrendous TV?
